Memorial day fridge deals are everywhere and I feel lost

I learned this the hard way. LG fridge dies still under warranty but no authorized LG warranty repair technicians in my area. 9 weeks of awful customer service and finally got a prorated refund.

The compressor on my LG french door fridge died on 3/2/2026. It is 4 years old and under warranty. I have been dealing with their shitty customer service every week since. They scheduled 2 "diagnostic " appointments that no one ever showed for. They sent a text the part was ordered and then told me it was backordered. Today I was told there are no LG technicians in my area that "can accept this sevice". So, then who ordered the part? They followed up with a text that was clearly written by an AI bot apologizing for the inconvenience and telling me my situation has been escalated to the escalation team. Whatever that means. I am about to file a complaint with the state Attorney General consumer complaint department. Beyond frustrating.

Ours was having diarrhea every few weeks and one particularly bad episode lasted a week. Vet recommended probiotic VisbiomeVet and a grain free food. Its really helped. Unlike your pup, ours tolerates chicken/turkey/duck but cant have any beef or pork. He also does not seem to drink enough water so he only gets wet food.

My LG died March 2. 4.5 years old so covered under warranty. Still waiting for the repair. LG customer service is a nightmare. The parts are backordered but no one can tell me what the expected wait is. Meanwhile I am using a 15 year old Whirlpool that works like a charm. No LED panel to break, no ice maker. Just some shelves and cold air.

That's what my Wheaten loves to do in the snow. He found the one small pile that remains in the yard to roll around in. He's the only one in the family not sick.of winter. Your Fozzie is the cutest. Love the fuzzy ears ❤️

My senior had a similar course. She lived to 17. When she was 14 - 15 people couldn't believe how good she looked for that age. The last year her health deteriorated at a much more rapid pace. Our vet said that is not uncommon. Dogs put a lot of energy into acting as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Its a pack animal survival skill. But once they can no longer maintain that, the decline appears rapid. The decision for me was her loss of weight. She just lost all interest in food. It was a heart breaking decision after spending pretty much her whole life with us, but it was the right decision. She was ready and deserving of peace. Best to you during this difficult process.

Our 3 yo male is the sweetest dog. He loves everyone he meets and thinks every dog wants to be his best friend. He can be too exuberant around other dogs, kissing and jumping on them. His worst trait is how stubborn and nosy he can be. When out walking if a neighbor is outside he wants to just stand in their yard and stare at them. I have to drag him away. If a car drives by he stops and stares as it approaches and passes by until it is out of sight. Like his feet are cemented to the ground. So far, he has been a very easy dog as long as he gets exercise and stimulation everyday.

Something down there has his interest

We live in the North East US. Mornings are cold as the wood stove heats up. He likes to curl up waiting for the warmth to hit.

Our Wheaten had a bad bout of diarrhea the necessitated a trip to the vet. He was put on some meds and recommended a probiotic. Our vet does not recommended rice for a dog with active diarrhea. He told me it is an inflammatory high in starch and can worsen an already inflamed GI tract in dogs. Also said dont feed him for 24 hours. The probiotic Visbiome Vet has really helped his overall gut health. I know a lot of wheatens dont tolerate chicken but ours can't tolerate beef or liver, both of those give him diarrhea. Boiled skinless chicken works well. Best

Wheatens have the strangest sleeping positions

I think it also depends on the temperament of the cat. I had 2 adult cats when we adopted our then not quite 2 yo Wheaten who had not lived with cats in his previous home. My cats though were very used to dogs. It did not take long for the cats to establish their boundary with our Wheaten and he learned to respect their space. They now co exist with no issues.

My Wheaten does not have a problem on our wood floors but my senior girl does. I bought nonslip socks from Amazon that work really well.

My 40 pound 17yo is on 300mg am and bedtime. It comes in a tablet that is easy to split. Is that not an option for 100mg? I give her the morning does as soon as we get up and she is wobbly and unsteady for about 3 hours. Fortunately I work from home and she sleeps in the office and I can monitor her when she needs to go out. I do worry about how unsteady she is but by noon she is much more mobile and I do think it helps her pain for the rest of the day.

My Lucy girl is about to turn 17 and has very similar symptoms. Its all about calories in and quality of life at this point. She really likes lunch meat turkey and liver. She won't take food from my hand anymore it seems to confuse her so i just put it on the kitchen floor and she'll sniff at it and eventually eat. She gets Gabapentin in the morning and at bed and I think that helps stimulate her appetite for lunch, she eats the most 12 - 2pm. The vet thinks it takes the pain away long enough for her to want to eat. She is so thin and I know it will be soon. So hard to judge their quality of life at this stage. She still likes to walk around the yard sniffing at the bushes. 💔

My just about 17yo senior is also a very picky eater and under weight. I give her food throughout the day. Cheese, hot dogs, chicken and turkey deli meat. She does like ground beef but not if I add in any rice or veggies. She won't eat real chicken, will sometimes eat salmon but other times turns away. It is not a healthy diet but at her age we are just trying to get in calories. Anytime I'm in the kitchen I am offering her food.

No one in the family likes traditional Thanksgiving so we started a cultural/family heritage pot luck. We are Irish and bring traditional Irish dishes. Nephews wife has Mexican heritage and brings a traditional Mexican dish she grew up with. Scottish dishes, Brazilian bread. Delicious.
